I wish the entire Kardashian family would just move on full stop. I wish my acne would shove off. I also wish my excess weight would magically move on all of its own accord whilst I still continue to trough my way through Waitroses cake selection. I'm not sure I've got the hang of this...

- Taking pictures for one's blog with one's hand stuck into one side of one's ombre'd hair whilst pouting and gazing slightly off camera or at one's turned-in feet.- Ombre hair.- Mac Snob lipstick (not necessarily an everyday occurrence but one which should be banished to Room 101 nevertheless).- Piers Morgan. Just because...well. Because.

No 1) Christmas chocolates. Still got a houseful and now getting fatNo 2) the word yayNo 3) sticking `tastic` on the end of words. I did this myself today and died a little insideNo 4) people trying to buy me skincare as a gift. Done with good intentions but nooooooo. If you've heard of it I don't want it! (My family don't read your blog Caroline)

What, no Sudocrem on spots? I hadn't even had the time to try this one? And I'll keep painting my nails different colors, sorry :))I'm a bit scared by onesies for grown-ups, but well, to each their own thing. As long as you don't offer me one as a gift.

something should squeak though halloumi in your mouth - yum squeaky cheese rules! I can believe anybody would even dream of putting Aapri on their face I use smoother scrubs than that on my body :) great post as always thanks for raising a smile x

Ahhhh, the brow that is square at the bridge of the nose, god I hate that! Totally agree on pouts! Having said that I look like a bufoon when I smile in blog pics and for some reason my face seems to want to pout!

Hey Caroline,Just discovered your blog and me and mum are already hooked, keep up the good work :) Anyways im after a face scrub if you could recommend me one that would be super, in the pass ive used the st ives scrub "/ is that a bad scrub to be using oh i have rather oily..ish skin xx

Oh gosh I remember using the aapri scrub years ago and it broke me out horribly, lots of little under the skin red spots all over my face. It was awful! I don't really like it when bloggers adress their readers as 'sweeties' or 'honeys' etc I find it a wee bit sickly and contrived, or maybe I'm just a miserable cow :)x

* get four shades fairer in just a week!!! - what do I say about this? These creams are so popular in India. I just feel like shaking the person buying it and saying, hello, if this really worked, no one would be dark. And we'd have women walking around with faces four shades fairer than their bodies *shudder*!

1. People who have amazing lives where they are partying forever (ie, hardly anyone)2. agree!3. Why the obsession with white? What is so amazing about a Caucasian that people would use bleach or heaven knows what else to get that skin colour. I think every ethnicity has lovely skin and its the skin you inherited through years of blood and genes.

Every woman should have a trench coat in their wardrobe. FFS I am 5ft 4, size 12 with big t**s, and I look like a sack of spuds tied in the middle if I wear one (not that I have done so for many years)!

This is what gets on my wick- huge corporate companies a la Estee Lauder donating a percentage of their profits to charites such as breast cancer yet they are the one that have been known to include some of the 'questinable ingredients' that cause this type of cancer in the first place. Geeta

I read this and thought about the sudocream I put on the spot that wont go away last night and the Argen oil that is currently in my hair yet totally agreed with everything you said hahaWe all have our bug bearers, mine has to be bloggers on twitter who want followers yet all they do is moan! I've unfollowed two this week alone! haha

I'm with you on painting one of your nails a different colour to the rest and the word trend. The term 'on trend' in particular makes me wince. Using the word 'statement' to describe a bright lipstick or a bit of jewellery from Topshop or painting one of your nails a different colour to the rest bothers me too. You're not really making that much of a statement in society with any of those things - except that you bought them or have the time to paint one of your nails a different colour to the rest.

Hahaha, love this. Love your straight forward style.I am sick of not having sun, I need some sun for crying out loud. And the Kardashians.

Sorry to be so off topic, but I have a question. Do you have any idea why I feel my cheeks burning after applying LA Roche-Posay moisturizer for sensitive dehydrated skin? Afterwards I can see these redness coming up on my cheeks and I have no idea why, I mean the reason I bought it was because it was for sensitive skin. Anyway, I would appreciate a good (not so expensive) moisturizer that doesn't burn. It's the first time it's happening to me and to be honest I never paid 16 pounds for a moisturizer before.

Hahah! This Bioderma phase that never seems to end is what's getting on my nerves! There will be a point where you need to put something on your face that has a little bit more to it than just that, yes its good, please move on. I still love Sudocrem though :p haha.

Well, I must say, i had absolutely no idea about the one finger nail varnish trend as i generally live under a rock. But I did get served by a man in a shop last year who had said nail painted blue and it actually disturbed me for the rest of the weekend! As it was in an art shop, I hoped it was paint, but I went back again to collect my order the following week and...STILL BLUE! Can't believe it's "a thing." Bad.

funny post. Talking about annoying phrases can I just add that it makes me cringe when people say I got in "on sale". If you were brought up in UK we say "in the sale". It's one of the Americanisms that set my teeth on edge when said by non Americans. Just remembered also someone I know who, instead of saying "from the start" has started saying "from the get-go". Hmmm.

Amen to the first one- women are pregnant all the time? That's why we're all here. Congrats - but yes- move on people! Great list! I had a friend send me Sudocrem (as we dont have it in the US) thought it would work- I have the worst chest acne (sorry for the TMI) Now trying mario badescu drying lotion.
